Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in a Tuesday statement criticized her colleagues’ attempts to silence her, saying they were more focused on controlling her words than saving the lives of people in Gaza under siege from Israel’s attack on Hamas.
The House later Tuesday is expected to vote on two separate measures censuring Tlaib over remarks she has made about the Israel-Gaza war.
“It’s a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving lives, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 10,000. Many of them have shown me that Palestinian lives simply do not matter to them, but I still do not police their rhetoric or actions,” Tlaib wrote in a Tuesday statement.

If they had the ‘real’ casualty figures, instead of the figures being bandied about by Hamas and the UN, the amount of dead would drop by 7 or 8 thousand in a day.
The Ukraine-Russian war has resulted in about 10,000 civilian deaths... But according to the UN and HAMAS... 10,000+ Palestinians have been killed, and half of them are children... A figure that is beyond belief, because quite frankly... It’s complete BS.

You’re lying, Tlaib. What you are thinking is: “It’s a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving the lives of terrorists.”

The only good Hamas Terrorist is a dead Hamas Terrorist. From the river to the Med, all the Hamas scum will end up DEAD.

Rash-head Taliban (RAT-Mich.)

"Saving lives"?...I'd like to know the number of Israelis the muzzard death cult have killed over the years.

Palestinian lives do matter. That is why they must be ended- before they accomplish the extermination og the Jews in Israel. The number of Palestinian lives that won’t be at the service of the mass murderers of Hamas is tiny if it exists at all. There are no @peaceful@ Moslems in Gaza, only a portion who are not immediately engaged in trying to destroy Israel and Israeli lives.

It’s a shame Tlaib is a sack of human excrement who has zero business in any elected office.
Damn shame about that ugly stick thing too.

She’s an insurrectionist. Expel her from the House, put her on trial.

Well, the 1,400 who were raped and murdered (or murdered and raped) on October 7th are beyond help.
So, they should go after the people responsible for those deaths, including people exactly like Tlaib and the Biden Administration.

Soon enough, her radical terrorist constituency will get her in a car bomb. Always do. It’s their natural succession from office practice. Nobody in Islam retires.

WTF? What nonsense. However, there is plenty of it to go around these days. Just go to one of the pro Pali protests. But keep your mouth shut. You'll get beaten up by the mob.

“Saving lives” is something Tlaib knows little and, as it applies to Jewish cildren and infants, cares little about.

The sad thing is there are so many imported savage islamists to “vote” people like her in to office.

They are popping up on FR, masquerading as conservatives and supporting Massie as well. What, really, is the difference between a Democrat antisemite and a Libertarian or Republican antisemite other than the Democrats are more numerous and dangerous?

Biden and Kirby are supporting Israel; even Fetterman supposedly; why not go after the actual antisemites like Tlaib, Massie, and their enablers?

Why not all of them including Biden, Kirby, and Fetterman?
Every Democrat, nearly top to bottom is trying to undermine Israel and get the Israeli throats cut behind the scene by sending money to Iran and Gaza, while on the facing public side, appearing to support Israel so they don’t lose votes.
